Fell over in the driveway when the kickstand found a soft spot in the gravel, that was a first month complacency error. Didn't check the bike on stand was stable before swinging my leg over the saddle.

Pulled off onto the shoulder of an entrance ramp to adjust my luggage, was a narrow shoulder with cars whizzing by so I pulled onto the grass thinking like I was driving a car. Grass is about as traction-promoting as ice with a film of oil over it. That was a 10-15mph lowside with no new damage to bike or gear.

Hit head on by a truck that turned left onto my side of the street where I was stopped at the stop sign. She said the first time she saw me was as I bounced off her hood. Only real way to have avoided that one was to not have ridden that day.
